Full Time
7 months ago

This group is a national hospitality group driven by a team of world-class food lovers who serve to live and live to serve. Successful restaurants exist for many years by delivering all of the following: impeccable food, world-class service, and a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Their goal is to achieve iconic destinations and programs by delivering on all three. Their restaurants and teams deliver an experience beyond what is expected—that is their promise. As they expand throughout Chicago, Scottsdale, Dallas, and Miami, opportunities for growth, travel, and continuing education are endless.


In everything they do, there are four principles that they live by:

  • Generous - They always give more than they receive and never take advantage of a guest. The value that a guest receives always exceeds what they pay.
  • Excellence - They do their work exceptionally, with skill and talent curated from decades of hospitality experience. Their staff has more food, wine, and cocktail knowledge than any other hospitality group.
  • Fun - They love what they do, laugh a lot, and never take themselves too seriously. Having fun is a critical component to success at an intense and complex restaurant.
  • Fail Fast - As they strive to be the best, they will make mistakes. It is okay to screw up as long as you learn, adjust, and get better. Don’t wait—fail fast and move on.
